American Airlines passenger films as plane floods from lavatory leak
An American Airlines flight from Dallas, Texas, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, flooded due to a leak from the lavatory. Footage shows passengers reacting to the water spilling down the aisle.
A female passenger took an alternative route off an Alaska Airlines plane after landing in Seattle on Sunday evening.
Just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 22, Port of Seattle emergency dispatch was alerted to an incident at gate N9 related to arriving Alaska Airlines flight 323, Seattle–Tacoma International Airport Media Relations Manager Perry Cooper told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Cooper said that during the deplaning of the aircraft, a female passenger on board became “anxious” and opened the emergency exit over the wing.
Due to her anxiety, Cooper said the woman then climbed out onto the wing of the plane.

Cooper added that the Port of Seattle Fire responded and helped the passenger off the aircraft wing to the ramp.
The Port Police crisis team responded, Cooper said, and eventually decided to send the passenger to the hospital for evaluation.
